2015 vintage, a fantastic vintage
Our wines produced with the 2016 harvest are excellent vintage wines with a fantastic harvest favored by the climate, described by a spring that alternated plenty of sunny and breezy days. An element, this, that allowed an acceleration of the growth of the bunch between June and July. The strong heat recorded in the months of July and August has stopped the development of the plants, but the abundant rains of late August have brought back the perfect balance, thanks also to the temperature range of the last few days. With the excellent quality, however, we will have a lower quantity of wine than in 2015 and therefore, the availability of these wines is more contained than in the previous year.
